Ahead of the Miami Dolphins week five contest against the visiting New York Giants, many fans and media members — myself included — viewed the game as a prime opportunity for Miami’s defense to finally “get right” against an inferior opponent. Despite the fact that Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel wouldn’t buy into that notion — and rightfully so — Sunday’s game was just that for the Dolphins defense.
The unit dominated the Giants offense — planting their flag in New York’s backfield all day long en route to 7 sacks against their struggling opponent.
